Implementing the National Patient Safety Goals
Joint Commission Conferences
Aug. 6-7, 2009, San Antonio, Texas

This program provides an overview to the 2009 National Patient Safety Goals (NPSG) and focuses on those goals that are the most challenging for organizations across all accreditation programs to meet. Areas of focus include: communication issues; medication reconciliation; hand hygiene; and reducing falls.

Discussion will focus on patient safety principles, developing measures for NPSGs, data collection and analysis, the challenges, strategies, tips and good practices for improving systems related to these challenging goals.

The program includes discussion, case studies on good practice examples, take-home tools, and the opportunity for participants to identify strategies that they can implement within their organizations immediately.
